Chapter 931: Expert (6)
In Prince Rui's mansion, Shen Miao looked at the unconscious Xie Jingxing and frowned tightly.
Xie Jingxing's condition is getting worse and worse. He only has six days to hold on. Within six days, apart from praying that Gao Yang can refine an antidote, is there really any other way?
Just as she was thinking about it, Luo Tan ran in from outside again. As soon as he came in, he said nothing, and only asked Shen Miao: "Little cousin, is the compass I gave you on your wedding day still there? If so, can you lend it to me?"
Shen Miao looked at her suspiciously: "What do you want that for?"
Luo Tan avoided her gaze and said, "I suddenly remembered and asked you to borrow it for fun."
It was already this late, no matter how daring Luo Tan was, how could he still be in the mood to play? Shen Miao said, "Don't lie to me. Tell me, what do you want it for?" After a pause, he continued, "If you don't tell me the truth, you can forget about getting it."
Luo Tan was angry and anxious. She was always a little afraid of Shen Miao when it came to important matters. She gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and simply told her everything Ben Yue had said before.
After finishing speaking, Luo Tan looked at Shen Miao's expression and said, "I want to go find that expert. Since he can change the fate of a servant's little brother, maybe he can change the fate of my brother-in-law. There is no other way now. It is better to find someone than no one."
Shen Miao thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, “Gao Yang has already been there once. As a doctor, he must have wanted to understand what was going on more than you are now. If Gao Yang can find that place, how can you find it?”
Luo Tan said, "My dear cousin, if this is all just empty talk, how dare I waste your time at this critical juncture? I once heard my grandfather talk about a strange technique he encountered when he was young. From the outside, nothing can be seen, but every plant and tree on display holds a hidden secret. Once you enter, you're unconsciously confused by the scene before you, thinking you're walking in a straight line, but you're actually walking in a curve. You're going around in circles, unable to get out. In the past, some people even thought it was a ghost technique."
Shen Miao frowned: “Qi Men Dun Jia?”
Luo Tan nodded. "My grandfather also mentioned that he saw it once when he was young. After that, the skill gradually died out. Nowadays, I'm afraid no one has ever seen it. I thought that since that master had the ability to change people's fate, he might not be unfamiliar with Qimen Dunjia. There are also Qimen Dunjia formations designed specifically for martial artists. The higher the martial arts skills, the more difficult it is to escape, and eventually they are trapped to death in the formation."
“You mean to say that the reason they couldn’t find the house the brother and sister mentioned was because someone had set up a Qimen Dunjia.” Shen Miao shook her head: “Just as you said, it only targets martial artists, but other servants in the Gao Mansion have also been there and still haven’t found it.”
Seeing Shen Miao like this, Luo Tan was somewhat discouraged and said, “After all, you just don’t believe me, don’t believe that anyone can save your brother-in-law, right?”
“I believe it.” Shen Miao said.
Luo Tan was stunned.
Shen Miao asked her, "Then can the compass remain unaffected by other things and always point south? You mentioned Fengtou Village is south, and while human eyes and other things may be affected by Qimen Dunjia, a compass cannot. That is the work of a craftsman."
Luo Tan said, "That's exactly the point! This is something used to guide the way in the military and at sea, but I just realized it would be perfect for the art of Qimen Dunjia. But," she looked at Shen Miao and asked in disbelief, "Little cousin, are you really willing to trust me and let me go find that expert?"
"I believe in you, and I also believe in my own luck." Shen Miao said, "We can't just sit there and wait for death. It's better to try multiple paths than to stick to one path. No matter what the result is, we have to give it a try. Otherwise, it would be too unacceptable." She said, "I'll go with you."
Luo Tan opened his mouth and said, "Let's go together?"
"If there truly is a master alive, then since he's hiding his whereabouts, there must be some peculiar reason. How can you convince her on your own? Since he's my husband and I'm his wife, there's no reason for me to rely on anyone else for this matter."
Luo Tan seemed to be getting to know Shen Miao for the first time. Shen Miao had always been rational, calm, and analytical about the pros and cons. She thought she would never see Shen Miao take risks or believe in the impossible, but this time Shen Miao did it.
Is it because of Prince Rui?
Shen Miao stood up, and within a moment, her expression changed, becoming resolute, as if this had been her plan from the beginning. She said, "Come with me, and take the compass." She then called Mo Qing and Cong Yang outside, saying, "Come with me to Fengtou Manor. Tie Yi, take good care of Xie Jing Xing until I return. Tie Yi, you take charge of anything. If the Emperor asks about it, I will bear the blame."
After saying that, he took his outer garment and went out: "Prepare the car!"
There is no doubt in his words, and there is a hint of majesty.
